Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the switching times of a night reduction and / or the night shutdown and / or the heating curve characteristic of a heating system.
- the flow temperature of heating systems is usually controlled by outside temperature. As a rule, this means that the lower the outside temperature, the higher the flow temperature. This compensates for the fact that the heat losses of a building are greater with lower outside temperatures.
- This dependency between the flow temperature and the outside temperature is usually further determined by means of a characteristic curve which is used in the heating system, e.g. is stored in the controller. This characteristic is also known as the heating curve.
- reduced operation the flow temperature is reduced compared to normal operation, but the basic dependency on the heating curve or the characteristic curve is retained.
- a lowering operation compared to normal operation, only the level of the heating curve or the characteristic curve is changed, in particular reduced, for example by a parallel shift.
- the slope can be changed in the lowering mode, in particular by a lower value.
- the boiler In the shutdown mode, on the other hand, the boiler is switched off completely, the characteristic curve thus has a ZERO slope. Between these at least two, possibly three operating modes, it is normally switched at certain times, the switching times, which is done automatically by programming in the heating system.
- the object of the invention is achieved in that for several points in time of each of several measuring days, pairs of values are formed from the flow temperature of at least one heating circuit of the heating system at the time and outside temperature at the location of the heating system property and the time interval of one day of 24 hours in several , successive time boxes is subdivided, and each value pair is assigned to the time box in which the time of the value pair lies and for each of the time boxes a mathematical model is formed for the measured value pairs assigned therein, which describes the dependence of the flow temperature on the outside temperature in this time box ,
- the essence of the invention is based on the fact that by simply observing the heating system with regard to its behavior, setting the flow temperature as a function of the outside temperature, information about the switching times between the operating modes and, if necessary, also about the heating curves or characteristic curves of these operating modes can be obtained.
- the invention makes use of the measure of forming measured value pairs of temporally correlating flow temperature and outside temperature, ie such measured value pairs are formed for several times of a day. This is done for all days of the measurement period, e.g. over all days of a month or over 30 days, possibly even longer.
- the pairs of measured values that belong to those points in time that lie in the time interval of one of the time boxes formed are assigned to this relevant time box. For example, A total of 24 time boxes of one hour each can be created over the 24 hours of a day. A point in time can e.g. represent a time, whereby a time box can each correspond to a time interval.
- the interval widths of the time boxes can basically be chosen arbitrarily.
- the interval width of one hour mentioned here is only a non-binding example.
- a common point in time can then be formed for a pair of measured values to be formed, for example depending on one or both individual points in time of the two measured values flowing into the pair of measured values.
- the point in time for a pair of measured values can be formed, for example, by a mathematical calculation rule from the points in time of both values for the flow temperature and outside temperature.
- the invention can also provide that the values of flow temperature and outside temperature are recorded or made accessible not only at different times, but also repeatedly, in particular periodically repeating at different time intervals.
- the measured values for the flow temperature on each of the measuring days at a repeating interval of a first period of time and the measured values of the outside temperature at each of the measuring days at a repeating interval of a second period of time can be recorded or made accessible or ascertained.
- the first and second time periods can be the same, in particular the measurements / acquisitions can then also be simultaneous, but do not have to.
- a preferred embodiment can provide that the first and second time periods are chosen to be shorter than the time duration of the time boxes. This ensures that at least one pair of measured values from the flow temperature and outside temperature is assigned to a respective time box per measurement day.
- the first and second time periods are each at least 5 times, preferably at least 10 times smaller than the time interval width of each time box. Accordingly, at least 5, preferably at least 10 value pairs are assigned to a respective time box per measurement day.
- Each pair of measured values can have a point in time, depending on which the assignment to the time box can take place, in particular, as explained above in the meaning of a time.
- This point in time of the pair of measured values can correspond to one of the points in time of at least one of the two measured values, and possibly also be newly formed entirely from the points in time of one or both points in time of the measured values.
- a point in time is preferably understood to mean the time at which the measured value pair or each of the measured values is valid, or was recorded, determined or accessible.
- the time can e.g. represent a specific time of the day, which is stored together with a respective measured value or a formed pair of measured values, or is known at least when the measured values are assigned to a pair or when the pair of measured values is assigned to the time box.
- a plurality of measured values with times of the shorter time period are converted into one measured value with a time corresponding to the longer time period, in particular by averaging.
- a flow temperature measurement for times of one hour interval has been calculated from 12 individual flow temperature measurements for times of 5 minutes interval.
- a pair of measured values from the flow temperature and outside temperature can be formed with a time on a 1-hour basis and this pair can be assigned to exactly one time box, although the individual measured values that form the pair differ time intervals were recorded.
- each time box receives exactly one assigned pair of measured values per day, so that after e.g. 30 days of total measurement time, each time box contains exactly 30 assigned pairs of measured values, on the basis of which the model is formed. If the duration of the first and second duration is chosen differently, more measured value pairs per day can also be assigned to a respective time box.
- the measured values that were recorded with a smaller time interval can thus be converted into a measurement value that is to be regarded as being recorded with a larger time interval.
- the invention can provide here that a model, in particular a linear model, is parameterized for each time box and, depending on at least one parameter of the model, in particular a parameter describing the slope of the model, that a switching time is present in or before a time box.
- the modeling can generally provide that this always takes place according to the same mathematical rule, for example a linear regression and, in order to adapt the model to the measured values, at least one parameter of the model, as a rule several parameters are adapted so that the model formed is as accurate as possible the actual dependency (within the scope of mathematical error limits).
- Different models formed differ, for example, only by their respective parameterization.
- the slope of the model determined for this time box will be smaller than in a time box with normal operation of the heating system.
- a slope of zero or close to zero will be determined in the time box with operation switched off. It is therefore possible here to infer the existence of a switching time in or between two time boxes on the basis of a single parameter of a model formed.
- An embodiment of the invention can also provide that at least one parameter of the model is graphically visualized depending on the time box, in particular its order number.
- a data processing system on which the above-described processing of the method takes place programmatically, e.g. on a central evaluation unit of a service provider, which is arranged externally from the property of the heating system.
- the measured values of flow temperature and / or outside temperature can be transferred to this central evaluation unit, in one possible version e.g. through telecommunications over at least one network.
- Flow temperature and outside temperature can e.g. are transmitted to the central evaluation unit via various telecommunication networks, in particular if both temperature values are not measured simultaneously by temperature sensors at the location of the heating system property.
- the invention can provide that the flow temperature is recorded by means of a temperature sensor on at least one heating circuit of the heating system and the flow temperature measured values are stored by means of a data logger, in particular at the location of the heating system in connection with a respective time (e.g. time or continuous counter) of the measurement.
- a temperature sensor on at least one heating circuit of the heating system
- the flow temperature measured values are stored by means of a data logger, in particular at the location of the heating system in connection with a respective time (e.g. time or continuous counter) of the measurement.
- Each individual temperature measurement value can be transmitted to the evaluation unit together with its time via telecommunications, or else Groups of measured values and times or even after the end of a measurement period of, for example, several days, all measured values and their respective times at once.
- the multiple measured values and times for the flow temperature can be transmitted to the central evaluation unit, for example via a telecommunications network, for example GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc.
- the aforementioned data logger can also be manually removed from the property and the data can be transferred from it to the evaluation unit by directly connecting the evaluation unit to its interface or by remote data transmission by means of telecommunications.
- the central evaluation unit can be used to assign measured value pairs and times of the flow temperature in connection with the outside temperatures, which are also transmitted to the evaluation unit, and their times, if necessary, by adjusting the time bases or the times when the two were recorded Measured value types by converting one of the two measured value types to the time base or the distance between the times of the other measured value type.
- the detection of the outside temperatures can e.g. take place by means of a temperature sensor at the location of the heating system property, the outside temperature values being stored by means of a data logger, in particular at the location of the heating system in connection with a respective point in time, essentially as described for the flow temperatures. If necessary. the same data logger can be used, especially with simultaneous recording. With simultaneous acquisition with the same data logger, this can immediately form the measured value pairs with a respectively assigned time.
- outside temperatures do not necessarily have to be recorded directly at the location of the heating system using specially designed sensors.
- the invention can also provide that the outside temperatures are determined by means of a temperature sensor of a weather station, in particular a weather station that is publicly accessible via a telecommunications network, at the location or in the vicinity of the location of the heating system property, and the outside temperature values are stored in connection with a point in time, in particular in a central evaluation unit.
- the evaluation unit can query this weather station via a telecommunications network in order to determine the outside temperature at each time of the query and to save it with the time.
- the two temperature values can be transmitted to the evaluation unit through different networks.
- Another embodiment can also provide that the outside temperature is calculated by means of a weather model depending on the location of the heating system property and the outside temperature values are stored in connection with a point in time, in particular in a central evaluation unit.
- the calculation can be calculated directly in the evaluation unit or decentrally in an external server.
- Yet another embodiment can provide that outside temperature measured values for the location of the heating system property are read out from a meteorological database, in particular by means of a telecommunications network, in conjunction with a time as the time.
- a meteorological database in particular by means of a telecommunications network, in conjunction with a time as the time.
- a database can be made publicly available for query by a third party.
- the central evaluation unit receives information about the outside temperature at the location of the heating system.
- the invention can also directly determine the characteristic curves or heating curves of the heating system for the various operating modes. This is essentially for everyone Time box takes place through the model formation. It can be provided here that each model formed is categorized by comparing the model with one another or their parameters, for example into a model for normal operation, a model for lowering operation and / or a model for shutdown operation.
- All equally categorized models can be used to form an overall model for the operating category under consideration from these or their respective parameters. For example, the values of the slope parameters can be averaged for all models of the same category in a linear model. In this way, a single model can be determined for each operating mode that describes the heating curve or the characteristic curve of the heating system.
- the Figure 1 shows for understanding the dependence of the flow temperature on the outside temperature using two exemplary heating curve characteristics.
- the characteristic curve 1 describes an operating mode for the day and the characteristic curve 2 a lowered operating mode for the night.
- the dependencies can each describe a plateau and, based on this, a monotonously falling characteristic in the area of rising outside temperatures.
- the heating system automatically switches between these operating modes, e.g. there can be a night reduction between 00:00 and 6:00 in the morning.
- both the flow temperature and the outside temperature at the location of the heating system property are determined several times over a day, as described in the previous part, at the flow temperature e.g. by concrete measurement using a temperature sensor on one of the heating circuits and with regard to the outside temperature e.g. by querying from a weather database.
- a pair of measured values is formed from two values in each case and is valid at a specific time on the measurement day.
- the multitude of Measured value pairs is in the Figure 2 exemplarily visualized without depicting the dependency on the time of validity, or acquisition / determination. All measured value pairs of this total set of measured value pairs are each individually assigned to a time box, as is Figure 3 visualized. Accordingly, after completion of all assignments, each time box includes those measured value pairs from all measurement days that have a point in time that lies within the time interval of the time box. In this example, 24 numbered time boxes are formed, each with an hourly interval width. Each time box includes, for example, those measured value pairs with a time between two full hours of the time on all measurement days.
- a mathematical model is formed on the basis of the measured value pairs assigned therein, which describes the interdependency of the measured values in the respective time box.
- Such a model can be formed, for example, by linear regression.
- the first time box and the model 3 formed for its measured values is in the Figure 4 shown.
- the model 3 formed is given by the solid line 3. This line has an incline which, for example, represents a typical parameter for the model, by means of which the models can be distinguished.
- the Figure 5 shows the slope parameter of each model plotted in the X-axis against the order number of the time box.
- the order number corresponds to the number of the one-hour interval of each time box, so that the slope parameters are effectively plotted against the time of day.
- the increases in the time from 0:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. are smaller in magnitude than the increases in the other times, so that it can be seen from this illustration that the heating system under consideration has a subsequent reduction during this time from 0:00 to 6:00.
- the respective heating curve of normal operation and reduced operation is additionally specified by the respective slopes. Using this information, a heating system can be analyzed and optimized if necessary.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Schaltzeiten einer Nachtabsenkung und/oder der Nachtabschaltung und/oder der Heizkurven-Kennlinie einer Heizungsanlage.The invention relates to a method for determining the switching times of a night reduction and / or the night shutdown and / or the heating curve characteristic of a heating system.
Im Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, dass die Vorlauftemperatur von Heizungsanlagen üblicherweise außentemperaturgesteuert ist. Dies bedeutet im Regelfall, dass die Vorlauftemperatur umso größer ist, je kleiner die Außentemperatur ist. Dadurch wird kompensiert, dass die Wärmeverluste eines Gebäudes bei geringeren Außentemperaturen größer sind. Diese Abhängigkeit zwischen der Vorlauftemperatur und der Außentemperatur wird weiterhin üblicherweise mittels einer Kennlinie festgelegt, die in der Heizungsanlage, z.B. in deren Regler hinterlegt ist. Diese Kennlinie wird auch als Heizkurve bezeichnet.It is known in the prior art that the flow temperature of heating systems is usually controlled by outside temperature. As a rule, this means that the lower the outside temperature, the higher the flow temperature. This compensates for the fact that the heat losses of a building are greater with lower outside temperatures. This dependency between the flow temperature and the outside temperature is usually further determined by means of a characteristic curve which is used in the heating system, e.g. is stored in the controller. This characteristic is also known as the heating curve.
Unterschieden werden dabei weiterhin oftmals wenigstens zwei, ggfs. drei Betriebsmodi, nämlich ein Normalbetrieb und ein Absenkbetrieb, üblicherweise während der Nacht und/oder ein Abschaltbetrieb, ebenso üblicherweise während der Nacht. Im Absenkbetrieb wird die Vorlauftemperatur gegenüber dem Normalbetrieb reduziert, die grundsätzliche Abhängigkeit von der Heizkurve bzw. der Kennlinie bleibt jedoch erhalten. Im Regelfall wird bei einem Absenkbetrieb gegenüber dem Normalbetrieb lediglich das Niveau der Heizkurve bzw. der Kennlinie geändert, insbesondere verringert werden, z.B. durch parallele Verschiebung. Ebenso kann die Steigung im Absenkbetrieb verändert werden, insbesondere durch einen geringeren Wert.A distinction is often made between at least two, possibly three operating modes, namely normal operation and lowering operation, usually during the night and / or a shutdown operation, likewise usually during the night. In reduced operation, the flow temperature is reduced compared to normal operation, but the basic dependency on the heating curve or the characteristic curve is retained. As a rule, in the case of a lowering operation compared to normal operation, only the level of the heating curve or the characteristic curve is changed, in particular reduced, for example by a parallel shift. Likewise, the slope can be changed in the lowering mode, in particular by a lower value.
Im Abschaltbetrieb hingegen wird der Heizkessel komplett abgeschaltet, die Kennlinie hat somit quasi die Steigung NULL. Zwischen diesen wenigstens zwei, ggfs. drei Betriebsmodi wird normalerweise zu bestimmten Zeiten, den Schaltzeiten, umgeschaltet, was durch Programmierung in der Heizanlage automatisch erfolgt.In the shutdown mode, on the other hand, the boiler is switched off completely, the characteristic curve thus has a ZERO slope. Between these at least two, possibly three operating modes, it is normally switched at certain times, the switching times, which is done automatically by programming in the heating system.
Heutzutage wird es immer mehr nachgefragt, Heizungsanlagen energetisch zu prüfen und in Abhängigkeit eines Prüfergebnisses zu optimieren ggfs. sogar gegen komplett neue Heizungsanlagen auszutauschen.Nowadays, there is an increasing demand to test heating systems energetically and to optimize them depending on a test result, possibly even to replace them with completely new heating systems.
Im Rahmen einer solchen Prüfung ist es notwendig, eine Information darüber vorliegen zu haben, wie der Heizbetrieb einer Heizanlage konkret funktioniert, insbesondere zu welchen Schaltzeiten die Umschaltung zwischen den möglichen Betriebsmodi erfolgt und um welche der genannten Betriebsmodi es sich handelt. Des Weiteren ist eine Information über die konkreten Kennlinien der Heizungsanlage in den verschiedenen Betriebsmodi wünschenswert.In the course of such a check, it is necessary to have information on how the heating operation of a heating system works, in particular at which switching times the switchover between the possible operating modes takes place and which of the operating modes mentioned are concerned. Furthermore, information about the specific characteristics of the heating system in the various operating modes is desirable.
Wenngleich einige der moderneren Heizanlagen Schnittstellen bereitstellen, um Daten aus der Heizungsanlage auszulesen sind solche Schnittstellen oftmals herstellerspezifisch ausgelegt, so dass Drittanbieter keinen Zugriff haben auf die in der Heizungsanlage hinterlegten Daten der Schaltzeiten und der Betriebsmodi. Eine Standardisierung solcher Schnittstellen ist derzeit nicht in Sicht. Ein solches Verfahren ist aus dem Dokument
Ältere Anlage bieten oft nicht einmal solche Schnittstellen und zumindest die Kennliniensteilheit kann bei solchen Anlagen nicht oder allenfalls nur qualitativ abgelesen werden.Older systems often do not even offer such interfaces and at least the slope of the characteristic curve cannot be read, or at best only qualitatively, in such systems.
Es ist somit die Aufgabe der Erfindung ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, mittels dem unabhängig von der an einer Heizungsanlage verbauten Hardware die Möglichkeit besteht, die Heizungsanlage hinsichtlich der Schaltzeiten zwischen den Betriebsmodi zu analysieren, ggfs. auch hinsichtlich der Betriebsmodi selbst zu analysieren, also insbesondere die Kennlinien der Betriebsmodi zu ermitteln.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method by means of which, independent of the hardware installed on a heating system, there is the possibility of changing the heating system with regard to the switching times between the To analyze operating modes, if necessary also to analyze the operating modes themselves, in particular to determine the characteristics of the operating modes.
Weiterhin ist es eine Aufgabe der Erfindung diese Analyse ohne einen Eingriff in die Heizungsanlage vornehmen zu können, so dass die Durchführung der Analyse selbst das Betriebsverhalten oder auch eine Herstellergarantie der Heizungsanlage nicht beeinflusst.Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to be able to carry out this analysis without any intervention in the heating system, so that carrying out the analysis itself does not influence the operating behavior or a manufacturer's guarantee for the heating system.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, dass für mehrere Zeitpunkte eines jeden von mehreren Messtagen Wertepaare gebildet werden von zu dem Zeitpunkt vorliegender Vorlauftemperatur wenigstens eines Heizkreises der Heizungsanlage und Außentemperatur am Ort der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage und das zeitliche Intervall eines Tages von 24 Stunden in mehrere, aufeinander folgende, Zeitboxen unterteilt wird, und jedes Wertepaar derjenigen Zeitbox zugeordnet wird, in welcher der Zeitpunkt des Wertepaares liegt und für jede der Zeitboxen zu den darin zugeordneten Messwertpaaren ein mathematisches Modell gebildet wird, welches die Abhängigkeit von Vorlauftemperatur zur Außentemperatur in dieser Zeitbox beschreibt.The object of the invention is achieved in that for several points in time of each of several measuring days, pairs of values are formed from the flow temperature of at least one heating circuit of the heating system at the time and outside temperature at the location of the heating system property and the time interval of one day of 24 hours in several , successive time boxes is subdivided, and each value pair is assigned to the time box in which the time of the value pair lies and for each of the time boxes a mathematical model is formed for the measured value pairs assigned therein, which describes the dependence of the flow temperature on the outside temperature in this time box ,
Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung beruht darauf, dass durch reine Beobachtung der Heizungsanlage hinsichtlich deren Verhalten, die Vorlauftemperatur in Abhängigkeit der Außentemperatur einzustellen, eine Information über die Schaltzeiten zwischen den Betriebsmodi und ggfs. auch über die Heizkurven bzw. Kennlinien dieser Betriebsmodi gewonnen werden kann.The essence of the invention is based on the fact that by simply observing the heating system with regard to its behavior, setting the flow temperature as a function of the outside temperature, information about the switching times between the operating modes and, if necessary, also about the heating curves or characteristic curves of these operating modes can be obtained.
Dazu bedient sich die Erfindung der Maßnahme Messwertpaare zu bilden von zeitlich korrelierender Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur, d.h. es werden für mehrere Zeitenpunkte eines jeweiligen Tages jeweils solche Messwertpaare gebildet. Dies erfolgt für alle Tage des Messzeitraumes, z.B. also über alle Tage eines Monats, bzw. über 30 Tage hinweg, ggfs. auch länger.For this purpose, the invention makes use of the measure of forming measured value pairs of temporally correlating flow temperature and outside temperature, ie such measured value pairs are formed for several times of a day. This is done for all days of the measurement period, e.g. over all days of a month or over 30 days, possibly even longer.
Die Messwertpaare, die zu denjenigen Zeitpunkten gehören, die in dem zeitlichen Intervall einer der gebildeten Zeitbox liegen, werden genau dieser betreffenden Zeitbox zugeordnet. Z.B. können über die 24 Stunden eines Tages insgesamt 24 Zeitboxen von jeweils einer Stunde Dauer gebildet werden. Ein Zeitpunkt kann hier z.B. eine Uhrzeit darstellen, wobei eine Zeitbox jeweils einem Uhrzeitintervall entsprechen kann.The pairs of measured values that belong to those points in time that lie in the time interval of one of the time boxes formed are assigned to this relevant time box. For example, A total of 24 time boxes of one hour each can be created over the 24 hours of a day. A point in time can e.g. represent a time, whereby a time box can each correspond to a time interval.
Beispielsweise werden sodann alle Messwertpaare, die zu Zeiten zwischen 00.00 und 1.00 Uhr erfasst worden sind, der ersten Zeitbox zugeordnet, die dieses Uhrzeitintervall von 00.00 bis 1.00 Uhr umfasst. Alle Messwertpaare die zu Zeiten zwischen 1.00 und 2:00 Uhr erfasst wurden, werden der zweiten Zeitbox dieses Intervalles zugeordnet und so fort. Natürlich können die Intervallbreiten der Zeitboxen grundsätzlich beliebig gewählt werden. Die hier genannte Intervallbreite von einer Stunde stellt lediglich ein nicht bindendes Beispiel dar.For example, all measured value pairs that were recorded at times between 00:00 and 1:00 are then assigned to the first time box, which includes this time interval from 00:00 to 1.00. All measured value pairs that were recorded at times between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. are assigned to the second time box of this interval and so on. Of course, the interval widths of the time boxes can basically be chosen arbitrarily. The interval width of one hour mentioned here is only a non-binding example.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung besteht keine zwingende Notwendigkeit die Messwerte von Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur jeweils gleichzeitig zu erfassen, wenngleich dies möglich ist und sodann das jeweilige Messwertepaar denselben Zeitpunkt zugeordnet bekommt wie dieselben Zeitpunkte der einzelnen Messwerte. Vielmehr können die Werte von Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur auch jeweils eigene und somit unterschiedliche Zeitpunkte der Erfassung bzw. Messung oder sonstigen Zugänglichmachung aufweisen.Within the scope of the invention, there is no imperative to record the measured values of the flow temperature and outside temperature at the same time, although this is possible and then the respective pair of measured values is assigned the same point in time as the same points in time of the individual measured values. Rather, the values of flow temperature and outside temperature can each have their own and therefore different times of detection or measurement or other access.
Für ein zu bildendes Messwertpaar kann dann ein gemeinsamer Zeitpunkt gebildet werden, z.B. in Abhängigkeit eines oder beider einzelnen Zeitpunkte der beiden in das Messwertpaar einfließenden Messwerte. Der Zeitpunkt für ein Messwertpaar kann z.B. durch eine mathematische Berechnungsvorschrift aus den Zeitpunkten beider Werte für Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur gebildet werden.A common point in time can then be formed for a pair of measured values to be formed, for example depending on one or both individual points in time of the two measured values flowing into the pair of measured values. The point in time for a pair of measured values can be formed, for example, by a mathematical calculation rule from the points in time of both values for the flow temperature and outside temperature.
Es kann allgemein vorgesehen sein, dass diejenigen Werte von Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur zu einem Wertepaar zusammengefasst werden, deren jeweilige Zeitpunkte gleich sind oder sich nur bis auf einen festgelegten Toleranzwert unterscheiden. So wird sichergestellt, dass, insbesondere bei nicht gleichzeitiger Erfassung bzw. Ermittlung beider Temperaturwerte diese beiden in ein Messwertepaar einfließenden Werte zeitlich zumindest hinreichend nahe beieinander liegen.It can generally be provided that those values of flow temperature and outside temperature are combined into a pair of values whose respective times are the same or differ only to a specified tolerance value. This ensures that, particularly when the two temperature values are not recorded or determined simultaneously, these two values flowing into a pair of measured values are at least sufficiently close in time.
Die Erfindung kann auch vorsehen, dass die Werte von Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur nicht nur zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten, sondern auch jeweils wiederholend, insbesondere periodisch wiederholend mit verschiedenen zeitlichen Abständen erfasst werden bzw. zugänglich gemacht werden.The invention can also provide that the values of flow temperature and outside temperature are recorded or made accessible not only at different times, but also repeatedly, in particular periodically repeating at different time intervals.
So können also die Messwerte für die Vorlauftemperatur an jedem der Messtage im sich wiederholenden Abstand einer ersten Zeitdauer und die Messwerte der Außentemperatur an jedem der Messtage im sich wiederholenden Abstand einer zweiten Zeitdauer erfasst bzw. zugänglich gemacht oder ermittelt werden. Die erste und zweite Zeitdauer können gleich sein, insbesondere können die Messungen / Erfassungen dann auch gleichzeitig sein, müssen dies jedoch nicht.Thus, the measured values for the flow temperature on each of the measuring days at a repeating interval of a first period of time and the measured values of the outside temperature at each of the measuring days at a repeating interval of a second period of time can be recorded or made accessible or ascertained. The first and second time periods can be the same, in particular the measurements / acquisitions can then also be simultaneous, but do not have to.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführung kann vorsehen, dass die erste und zweite Zeitdauer kleiner gewählt wird als die zeitliche Dauer der Zeitboxen. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass pro Messtag wenigstens ein Messwertpaar aus Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur einer jeweiligen Zeitbox zugeordnet wird. Um eine ausreichend genaue Modellbildung zu ermöglichen kann es z.B. vorgesehen sein, dass die erste und zweite Zeitdauer jeweils wenigstens 5-mal, bevorzugt wenigstens 10-mal kleiner sind als die zeitliche Intervallbreite einer jeden Zeitbox. So werden pro Messtag demnach jeweils wenigstens 5, bevorzugt wenigstens 10 Wertepaare einer jeweiligen Zeitbox zugeordnet.A preferred embodiment can provide that the first and second time periods are chosen to be shorter than the time duration of the time boxes. This ensures that at least one pair of measured values from the flow temperature and outside temperature is assigned to a respective time box per measurement day. In order to enable sufficiently precise modeling, e.g. it should be provided that the first and second time periods are each at least 5 times, preferably at least 10 times smaller than the time interval width of each time box. Accordingly, at least 5, preferably at least 10 value pairs are assigned to a respective time box per measurement day.
Jedes Messwertpaar kann einen Zeitpunkt aufweisen in dessen Abhängigkeit gemäß obiger Darlegung die Zuordnung zur Zeitbox erfolgen kann, insbesondere in der Bedeutung einer Uhrzeit. Dieser Zeitpunkt des Messwertpaares kann einem der Zeitpunkte wenigstens eines der beiden Messwerte entsprechen, ggfs. auch komplett aus den Zeitpunkten eines oder beiden Zeitpunkte der Messwerte neu gebildet sein.Each pair of measured values can have a point in time, depending on which the assignment to the time box can take place, in particular, as explained above in the meaning of a time. This point in time of the pair of measured values can correspond to one of the points in time of at least one of the two measured values, and possibly also be newly formed entirely from the points in time of one or both points in time of the measured values.
Unter einem Zeitpunkt wird bevorzugt diejenige Uhrzeit verstanden, zu der das Messwertpaar oder jeder der Messwerte Gültigkeit hat bzw. erfasst, ermittelt oder zugänglich wurde. Der Zeitpunkt kann also z.B. eine konkrete Uhrzeit des Tages darstellen, die zusammen mit einem jeweiligen Messwert bzw. einem gebildeten Messwertpaar gespeichert wird, bzw. zumindest bei der Zuordnung der Messwerte zu einem Paar oder der Zuordnung des Messwertpaares zur Zeitbox bekannt ist.A point in time is preferably understood to mean the time at which the measured value pair or each of the measured values is valid, or was recorded, determined or accessible. The time can e.g. represent a specific time of the day, which is stored together with a respective measured value or a formed pair of measured values, or is known at least when the measured values are assigned to a pair or when the pair of measured values is assigned to the time box.
Beispielsweise kann es vorgesehen sein, dass bei unterschiedlichen ersten und zweiten Zeitdauern der Erfassung oder Ermittlung von Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur mehrere Messwerte mit Zeitpunkten der kürzeren Zeitdauer auf jeweils einen Messwerte mit einem Zeitpunkt korrespondierend zu der längeren Zeitdauer umgerechnet werden, insbesondere durch Mittelung.For example, it can be provided that in the case of different first and second time periods of the detection or determination of the flow temperature and outside temperature, a plurality of measured values with times of the shorter time period are converted into one measured value with a time corresponding to the longer time period, in particular by averaging.
Z.B. kann es vorgesehen sein, die Vorlauftemperatur alle 5 Minuten zu messen und zu erfassen und die Außentemperatur jedoch nur jede Stunde einmal. In diesem Fall können insgesamt 12 Vorlauftemperaturmesswerte zu einem neuen Vorlauftemperaturmesswert gemittelt werden, der sodann zu den länger beabstandeten Zeitpunkten mit einer Stunde Abstand korreliert. Somit ist ein Vorlauftemperaturmesswert für Zeitpunkte von einer Stunde Abstand errechnet worden aus 12 einzelnen Vorlauftemperaturmesswerten für Zeitpunkte von 5 Minuten Abstand. Für Zeitpunkte von 1 Stunde zeitlichem Abstand kann somit ein Messwertpaar aus Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur mit einem Zeitpunkt auf 1-h-Basis gebildet werden und dieses Paar genau einer Zeitbox zugeordnet werden, obwohl die einzelnen Messwerte, die in die Bildung des Paares eingehen, mit unterschiedlichen zeitlichen Abständen erfasst wurden.For example, it can be provided to measure and record the flow temperature every 5 minutes and the outside temperature only once every hour. In this case, a total of 12 flow temperature measurement values can be averaged to form a new flow temperature measurement value, which then correlates with the one hour interval at the longer-spaced times. Thus, a flow temperature measurement for times of one hour interval has been calculated from 12 individual flow temperature measurements for times of 5 minutes interval. For a time interval of 1 hour, a pair of measured values from the flow temperature and outside temperature can be formed with a time on a 1-hour basis and this pair can be assigned to exactly one time box, although the individual measured values that form the pair differ time intervals were recorded.
In diesem Beispiel erhält somit jede Zeitbox pro Tag genau ein zugeordnetes Messwertpaar, so dass nach z.B. 30 Tagen gesamter Messzeitdauer jede Zeitbox genau 30 zugeordnete Messwertpaare umfasst, anhand der jeweils die Modellbildung erfolgt. Bei entsprechend anders gewählter Dauer von erster und zweiter Zeitdauer können auch entsprechend mehr Messwertpaare pro Tag einer jeweiligen Zeitbox zugeordnet werden.In this example, each time box receives exactly one assigned pair of measured values per day, so that after e.g. 30 days of total measurement time, each time box contains exactly 30 assigned pairs of measured values, on the basis of which the model is formed. If the duration of the first and second duration is chosen differently, more measured value pairs per day can also be assigned to a respective time box.
Bevorzugt wird es vorgesehen sein, die Vorlauftemperatur im wiederholenden Abstand einer kürzeren ersten Zeitdauer zu erfassen als dies bei der Außentemperatur der Fall ist, die sodann wiederholend im Abstand einer vergleichsweise längeren zweiten Zeitdauer erfasst wird. Damit wird dem Umstand Rechnung getragen, dass die Außentemperatur üblicherweise keine kurzzeitigen Schwankungen hat, hingegen die Vorlauftemperatur bei z.B. getaktetem Betrieb einer Heizungsanlage solche Schwankungen haben kann und solche Schwankungen eliminiert werden können z.B. durch Umrechnung mehrerer Messwerte der Vorlauftemperatur mit kürzeren zeitlichen Abstand auf einen z.B. gemittelten Vorlauftemperaturmesswert mit einem umgerechneten zeitlichen Abstand der dem Abstand der zweiten Zeitdauer entspricht, mit welcher die Außentemperatur erfasst wird.It will preferably be provided to record the flow temperature at a repeating interval of a shorter first time period than is the case at the outside temperature, which is then repeated at a comparatively longer second time period. This takes into account the fact that the outside temperature usually has no short-term fluctuations, whereas the flow temperature at e.g. clocked operation of a heating system can have such fluctuations and such fluctuations can be eliminated e.g. by converting several measured values of the flow temperature with a shorter time interval to e.g. averaged flow temperature measured value with a converted time interval which corresponds to the interval of the second time period with which the outside temperature is recorded.
Allgemein können somit die Messwerte, die mit geringerem zeitlichen Abstand erfasst wurden, umgerechnet werden in einen Messwert der als mit einem größeren zeitlichen Abstand erfasst anzusehen ist.In general, the measured values that were recorded with a smaller time interval can thus be converted into a measurement value that is to be regarded as being recorded with a larger time interval.
Es besteht auch umgekehrt grundsätzlich die Möglichkeit, dass bei unterschiedlichen ersten und zweiten Zeitdauern zwischen den jeweiligen Erfassungen/ Ermittlungen von der Vorlauftemperatur und der Außentemperatur mehrere Werte von denjenigen Werten, die mit der längeren zeitlichen Dauer erfasst werden umgerechnet werden auf mehrere Werte mit jeweils neuem Zeitpunkt und die Abstände der Zeitpunkte der umgerechneten Werte denjenigen Abständen entspricht, mit denen die Werte mit der kürzeren Zeitdauer erfasst werden. Dies kann z.B. durch eine Interpolation erfolgen, gemäß welcher Zwischenwerte zwischen zwei konkret mit größerem Abstand gemessenen Werten errechnet werden, z.B. indem man annimmt, dass sich die Werte linear zwischen den konkret gemessenen / erfassten Werten ändern. Den interpolierten Werten werden sodann jeweils auch errechnete Zeitpunkte zwischen den konkreten Zeitpunkten der Erfassung / Ermittlung zugeordnet.Conversely, there is basically also the possibility that with different first and second time periods between the respective recordings / determinations of the flow temperature and the outside temperature, several values from those values that are recorded with the longer time duration are converted to several values with a new time in each case and the intervals of the times of the converted values correspond to the intervals with which the values are recorded with the shorter duration. This can be done, for example, by an interpolation, according to which Intermediate values between two values measured specifically at a greater distance can be calculated, for example by assuming that the values change linearly between the specifically measured / recorded values. The interpolated values are then also assigned calculated points in time between the specific points in time of the acquisition / determination.
Da nun erfindungsgemäß für jede Zeitbox auf der Basis der darin zugeordneten Messwertpaare ein mathematisches Modell gebildet wird, welches die Abhängigkeit der Vorlauftemperatur von der Außentemperatur in der jeweils betrachteten Zeitbox beschreibt, so besteht die Möglichkeit mit einer zeitlichen Auflösung der Zeitbox-Intervallbreite Schaltzeiten zwischen verschiedenen Betriebsmodi festzustellen.Since, according to the invention, a mathematical model is now formed for each time box on the basis of the pairs of measured values assigned therein, which describes the dependency of the flow temperature on the outside temperature in the time box in question, there is the possibility of a time resolution of the time box interval width switching times between different operating modes determine.
Unterscheiden sich nämlich - abgesehen von Messungenauigkeiten - die in zwei aufeinander folgenden Zeitboxen ermittelten Modelle, so ist es ersichtlich so, dass in den Zeitboxen verschiedene Betriebsmodi vorherrschten und demnach in oder zwischen den aufeinander folgenden Zeitboxen eine Umschaltung der Betriebsmodi erfolgte.If - apart from measurement inaccuracies - the models determined in two consecutive time boxes differ, it can be seen that different operating modes prevailed in the time boxes and accordingly the operating modes were switched in or between the successive time boxes.
Die Erfindung kann hier vorsehen, dass für jede Zeitbox ein Modell, insbesondere lineares Modell parametriert wird und in Abhängigkeit wenigstens eines Parameters des Modells, insbesondere eines die Steigung des Modells beschreibenden Parameters auf das Vorliegen einer Schaltzeit in oder vor einer Zeitbox geschlossen wird. Die Modellbildung kann allgemein vorsehen, dass diese immer nach derselben mathematischen Vorschrift, z.B. einer linearen Regression erfolgt und zur Anpassung des Modells an die Messwerte wenigstens ein Parameter des Modells, im Regelfall mehrere Parameter angepasst werden, so dass das gebildete Modell die tatsächliche Abhängigkeit möglichst genau (im Rahmen mathematischer Fehlergrenzen) beschreibt. Verschiedene gebildete Modelle unterscheiden sich z.B. also nur durch ihre jeweilige Parametrierung.The invention can provide here that a model, in particular a linear model, is parameterized for each time box and, depending on at least one parameter of the model, in particular a parameter describing the slope of the model, that a switching time is present in or before a time box. The modeling can generally provide that this always takes place according to the same mathematical rule, for example a linear regression and, in order to adapt the model to the measured values, at least one parameter of the model, as a rule several parameters are adapted so that the model formed is as accurate as possible the actual dependency (within the scope of mathematical error limits). Different models formed differ, for example, only by their respective parameterization.
Liegt in einer Zeitbox somit ein abgesenkter Betrieb vor, so wird beispielsweise die Steigung des für diese Zeitbox ermittelten Modells kleiner sein als in einer Zeitbox mit Normalbetrieb der Heizungsanlage. In der Zeitbox mit abgeschaltetem Betrieb wird hingegen eine Steigung von Null oder nahe Null ermittelt werden. Es besteht hier demnach die Möglichkeit bereits auf der Grundlage eines einzigen Parameters eines gebildeten Modells auf das Vorliegen einer Schaltzeit in oder zwischen zwei Zeitboxen zu schließen.If there is thus reduced operation in a time box, the slope of the model determined for this time box will be smaller than in a time box with normal operation of the heating system. On the other hand, a slope of zero or close to zero will be determined in the time box with operation switched off. It is therefore possible here to infer the existence of a switching time in or between two time boxes on the basis of a single parameter of a model formed.
Eine Ausführung der Erfindung kann auch vorsehen, dass wenigstens ein Parameter des Modells in Abhängigkeit von der Zeitbox, insbesondere deren Ordnungsnummer grafisch visualisiert wird. Dies kann erfolgen durch eine Datenverarbeitungsanlage, auf welcher die vorbeschriebene Abarbeitung des Verfahrens programmtechnisch erfolgt, z.B. auf einer zentralen Auswerteeinheit eines Dienstleisters, die extern von der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage angeordnet ist. Auf diese zentrale Auswerteeinheit können die Messwerte von Vorlauftemperatur und/oder Außentemperatur übertragen werden, in einer möglichen Ausführung z.B. durch Telekommunikation über wenigstens ein Netzwerk. Vorlauftemperatur und Außentemperatur können z.B. über verschiedene Telekommunikationsnetze an die zentrale Auswerteeinheit übertragen werden, insbesondere wenn beide Temperaturwerte nicht gleichzeitig am Ort der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage Messtechnisch durch Temperaturfühler erfasst werden.An embodiment of the invention can also provide that at least one parameter of the model is graphically visualized depending on the time box, in particular its order number. This can be done by a data processing system on which the above-described processing of the method takes place programmatically, e.g. on a central evaluation unit of a service provider, which is arranged externally from the property of the heating system. The measured values of flow temperature and / or outside temperature can be transferred to this central evaluation unit, in one possible version e.g. through telecommunications over at least one network. Flow temperature and outside temperature can e.g. are transmitted to the central evaluation unit via various telecommunication networks, in particular if both temperature values are not measured simultaneously by temperature sensors at the location of the heating system property.
Die Erfindung kann vorsehen, dass die Erfassung der Vorlauftemperatur mittels eines Temperatursensors an wenigstens einem Heizkreis der Heizungsanlage erfolgt und die Vorlauftemperaturmesswerte mittels eines Datenloggers, insbesondere am Ort der Heizungsanlage in Verbindung mit einem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt (z.B. Uhrzeit oder fortlaufender Zähler) der Messung gespeichert werden.The invention can provide that the flow temperature is recorded by means of a temperature sensor on at least one heating circuit of the heating system and the flow temperature measured values are stored by means of a data logger, in particular at the location of the heating system in connection with a respective time (e.g. time or continuous counter) of the measurement.
Es kann so jeder einzelne TemperaturMesswert zusammen mit seinem Zeitpunkt per Telekommunikation an die Auswerteeinheit übertragen werden oder auch Gruppen von Messwerten und Zeitpunkten oder auch nach Beendigung eines Messzeitraumes von z.B. mehreren Tagen alle Messwerte und ihre jeweiligen Zeitpunkte auf einmal. Hier können die mehreren Messwerte und Zeitpunkte für die Vorlauftemperatur z.B. über ein Telekommunikationsnetzwerk, z.B. GSM, UMTS, LTE etc. an die zentrale Auswerteeinheit übertragen werden.Each individual temperature measurement value can be transmitted to the evaluation unit together with its time via telecommunications, or else Groups of measured values and times or even after the end of a measurement period of, for example, several days, all measured values and their respective times at once. Here, the multiple measured values and times for the flow temperature can be transmitted to the central evaluation unit, for example via a telecommunications network, for example GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc.
Alternativ kann auch der genannte Datenlogger aus der Liegenschaft manuell entfernt werden und die Daten aus diesem durch Direktanschluß der Auswerteeinheit an seine Schnittstelle oder durch Datenfernübertragung mittels Telekommunikation in die Auswerteeinheit übertragen werden.Alternatively, the aforementioned data logger can also be manually removed from the property and the data can be transferred from it to the evaluation unit by directly connecting the evaluation unit to its interface or by remote data transmission by means of telecommunications.
Mit der zentralen Auswerteeinheit können aus den - wie auch immer erhaltenen - Messwerten und Zeitpunkten der Vorlauftemperatur in Verbindung mit den ebenfalls an die Auswerteeinheit übermittelten Außentemperaturen und deren Zeitpunkten die Zuordnung zu Messwertpaaren erfolgen, ggfs. unter Anpassung der Zeitbasen bzw. Zeitpunkte der Erfassung der beiden Messwertarten durch Umrechnung einer der beiden Messwertarten auf die Zeitbasis, bzw. den Abstand der Zeitpunkte der anderen Messwertart.The central evaluation unit can be used to assign measured value pairs and times of the flow temperature in connection with the outside temperatures, which are also transmitted to the evaluation unit, and their times, if necessary, by adjusting the time bases or the times when the two were recorded Measured value types by converting one of the two measured value types to the time base or the distance between the times of the other measured value type.
Die Erfassung der Außentemperaturen kann z.B. erfolgen mittels eines Temperatursensors am Ort der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage, wobei die Außentemperaturwerte mittels eines Datenloggers, insbesondere am Ort der Heizungsanlage in Verbindung mit einem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt gespeichert werden, im Wesentlichen also so, wie es auch zu den Vorlauftemperaturen beschrieben wurde. Ggfs. kann derselbe Datenlogger verwendet werden, insbesondere bei gleichzeitiger Erfassung. Bei gleichzeitiger Erfassung mit demselben Datenlogger kann dieser sofortig die Messwertpaare mit einem jeweils zugeordneten Zeitpunkt bilden.The detection of the outside temperatures can e.g. take place by means of a temperature sensor at the location of the heating system property, the outside temperature values being stored by means of a data logger, in particular at the location of the heating system in connection with a respective point in time, essentially as described for the flow temperatures. If necessary. the same data logger can be used, especially with simultaneous recording. With simultaneous acquisition with the same data logger, this can immediately form the measured value pairs with a respectively assigned time.
Die Außentemperaturen müssen aber nicht zwingend direkt am Ort der Heizungsanlage erfasst werden durch eine dafür extra vorgesehene Sensorik.However, the outside temperatures do not necessarily have to be recorded directly at the location of the heating system using specially designed sensors.
Die Erfindung kann auch vorsehen, dass die Außentemperaturen ermittelt werden mittels eines Temperatursensors einer Wetterstation, insbesondere einer über ein Telekommunikationsnetzwerk öffentlich zugänglichen Wetterstation am Ort oder in der Nähe des Ortes der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage und die Außentemperaturwerte in Verbindung mit einem Zeitpunkt gespeichert werden, insbesondere in einer zentralen Auswerteeinheit. Z.B. kann die Auswerteeinheit diese Wetterstation über ein Telekommunikationsnetzwerk abfragen, um zu jedem Abfragezeitpunkt, die Außentemperatur zu ermitteln und mit dem Zeitpunkt zu speichern. Besonders bei dieser Ausführung können die beiden Temperaturwerte durch unterschiedliche Netzwerke an die Auswerteeinheit übertragen werden.The invention can also provide that the outside temperatures are determined by means of a temperature sensor of a weather station, in particular a weather station that is publicly accessible via a telecommunications network, at the location or in the vicinity of the location of the heating system property, and the outside temperature values are stored in connection with a point in time, in particular in a central evaluation unit. For example, the evaluation unit can query this weather station via a telecommunications network in order to determine the outside temperature at each time of the query and to save it with the time. In this embodiment in particular, the two temperature values can be transmitted to the evaluation unit through different networks.
Eine andere Ausführung kann auch vorsehen, dass die Außentemperatur berechnet wird mittels eines Wettermodels in Abhängigkeit des Ortes der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage und die Außentemperaturwerte in Verbindung mit einem Zeitpunkt gespeichert werden, insbesondere in einer zentralen Auswerteeinheit. Hier kann die Berechnung direkt in der Auswerteeinheit oder auch dezentral in einem externen Server berechnet werden.Another embodiment can also provide that the outside temperature is calculated by means of a weather model depending on the location of the heating system property and the outside temperature values are stored in connection with a point in time, in particular in a central evaluation unit. Here the calculation can be calculated directly in the evaluation unit or decentrally in an external server.
Wiederum eine andere Ausführung kann vorsehen, dass Außentemperatur-Messwerte für den Ort der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage in Verbindung mit einer Zeitangabe als Zeitpunkt aus einer meteorologischen Datenbank, insbesondere mittels eines Telekommunikationsnetzwerkes ausgelesen werden. Beispielsweise kann eine solche Datenbank von einem Drittanbieter öffentlich zur Abfrage zur Verfügung gestellt werden.Yet another embodiment can provide that outside temperature measured values for the location of the heating system property are read out from a meteorological database, in particular by means of a telecommunications network, in conjunction with a time as the time. For example, such a database can be made publicly available for query by a third party.
Erfindungsgemäß spielt es keine Rolle, auf welche Art und Weise die zentrale Auswerteeinheit eine Information über die Außentemperatur am Ort der Heizungsanlage erhält.According to the invention, it does not matter in what way the central evaluation unit receives information about the outside temperature at the location of the heating system.
Neben der Bestimmung von Schaltzeiten der analysierten Heizungsanlage kann die Erfindung auch direkt die Kennlinien bzw. Heizkurven der Heizungsanlage für die verschiedenen Betriebsmodi ermitteln. Dies ist im Wesentlichen für jede Zeitbox erfolgt durch die vorgenommene Modellbildung. Es kann hier vorgesehen sein, dass jedes gebildete Modell durch Vergleich der Modell untereinander bzw. von deren Parameter kategorisiert wird, z.B. in ein Modell für den Normalbetrieb, ein Modell für den Absenkbetrieb und/oder ein Modell für den Abschaltbetrieb.In addition to determining the switching times of the analyzed heating system, the invention can also directly determine the characteristic curves or heating curves of the heating system for the various operating modes. This is essentially for everyone Time box takes place through the model formation. It can be provided here that each model formed is categorized by comparing the model with one another or their parameters, for example into a model for normal operation, a model for lowering operation and / or a model for shutdown operation.
Alle gleich kategorisierten Modelle können herangezogen werden, um aus diesen, bzw. deren jeweiligen Parametern ein Gesamtmodell für die betrachtete Betriebskategorie zu bilden. Z.B. können die Werte der Steigungsparameter bei einer lineare Modellbildung für alle Modelle gleicher Kategorie gemittelt werden. Auf diese Weise kann für jeden Betriebsmodus ein einziges Modell ermittelt werden, dass die Heizkurve bzw. die Kennlinie der Heizungsanlage beschreibt.All equally categorized models can be used to form an overall model for the operating category under consideration from these or their respective parameters. For example, the values of the slope parameters can be averaged for all models of the same category in a linear model. In this way, a single model can be determined for each operating mode that describes the heating curve or the characteristic curve of the heating system.
Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Beispiel erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below using an example.
Die
Erfindungsgemäß werden über einen Tag verteilt für mehrere Tage sowohl die Vorlauftemperatur als auch die Außentemperatur am Ort der Liegenschaft der Heizungsanlage mehrfach ermittelt, wie es im vorangehenden Teil beschrieben wurde, bei der Vorlauftemperatur z.B. durch konkrete Messung mittels eines Temperatursensors an einem der Heizkreise und hinsichtlich der Außentemperatur z.B. durch Abfrage aus einer Wetterdatenbank.According to the invention, both the flow temperature and the outside temperature at the location of the heating system property are determined several times over a day, as described in the previous part, at the flow temperature e.g. by concrete measurement using a temperature sensor on one of the heating circuits and with regard to the outside temperature e.g. by querying from a weather database.
Aus jeweils zwei Werten wird ein Messwertepaar gebildet, das zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt des Messtages Gültigkeit hat. Die Vielzahl der Messwertepaare ist in der
Für jede Zeitbox, hier also insgesamt für 24 Zeitboxen wird auf der Basis der darin zugeordneten Messwertepaare ein mathematisches Modell gebildet, welches die Abhängigkeit der Messwerte in der jeweiligen Zeitbox voneinander beschreibt. Ein solches Modell kann z.B. durch eine lineare Regression gebildet werden. Die erste Zeitbox und das für deren Messwerte gebildete Modell 3 ist in der
Die
Erkennbar ist hier, dass die Steigungen in der Zeit von 0:00 Uhr bis 6:00 vom Betrag her kleiner sind als die Steigungen in den übrigen Uhrzeiten, so dass aus dieser Darstellung ersichtlich ist, dass die betrachtete Heizungsanlage eine Nachabsenkung aufweist in dieser Zeit von 0:00 bis 6:00. Die jeweilige Heizkurve von Normalbetrieb und abgesenkten Betrieb ist durch die jeweiligen Steigungen zusätzlich konkretisiert. Anhand dieser Information kann somit eine Heizungsanlage analysiert und ggfs. optimiert werden.It can be seen here that the increases in the time from 0:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. are smaller in magnitude than the increases in the other times, so that it can be seen from this illustration that the heating system under consideration has a subsequent reduction during this time from 0:00 to 6:00. The respective heating curve of normal operation and reduced operation is additionally specified by the respective slopes. Using this information, a heating system can be analyzed and optimized if necessary.
